General:
Conflicting information on son Thomas' birth may be due to a first Thomas in Truro who died in infancy, confusion by genealogists among the multiple Higgins familes, or other errors. But the 1842 death, at age 78, fits the 1764 birth.Medical:
"Capt. Thomas Higgins died Dec. 13, 1842, aged 78 years.
'May we O Lord most high
Warning from hence receive
If like the righteous we would die
To choose the life they live.' " 33
age about 78Marriage Notes (Martha Swett)
